  • I am always in admiration whenever I see the Delhi Gate, Lodi Gate, Moti Masjid, Nagina Masjid, Hall of Public Audience, Hall of Private Audience, and Musamman Burj, among others. 

Jama Masjid: The Jama Masjid is an incredible beauty and a place that always gives me and my wife harmony when we visit. Everything is fantastic, from the minarets, prayer halls, relics, and gates of this mosque to the Quran verses inscribed on the walls.

  • The fact that it can accommodate 25000 people always makes me wonder how it could have been built in such a way in the 16th century. 

Itimad-Ud-Daulah: I liked how it is called the Baby Taj. It is believed to be the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal. This grand mausoleum’s interiors are similar to the Taj, which makes sense. Overall, it’s a lovely place in Agra.

Akbar’s Tomb: The more I see the famous architecture of Agra, the more I fall in love with it. One such place is Akbar’s Tomb, his resting place built by himself. I read somewhere that the place is famous for its architecture and the geometric patterns in the sandstone structure. However, every word came true when I saw it in person.

Fatehpur Sikri: You can say that Fatehpur Sikri is a city within the city. I read somewhere that it was designed to be the capital of the Mughals but was abandoned within ten years due to a scarce water supply. Whether this fact is actual or not, this place is magnificent.
